True mate ! . Best way to beat neighbours complains / calling enforcement officer is to allow ‘natural wastage ‘ ?

Yes - should do . Was told by bpc that I can fit the flexible silencers first to Mvhr - which should give me enough ‘bend’ to be in the loft space .

Not yet ! But bathroom to the right so in theory should be easy ( he says )

Beast is on the wall . I’m sure it’s grown !!!

Crumbs ! I’ll buy the lot ! MMA fighting and inflatable ladies - what more is there to life !

Gave in . Got a 12 step pre made staircase Total height 2.6 for £168 inc vat and delivery . Needless to say I had to ‘play’ with the builders merchants for it at that price ...

? oh i’m Positive 99% of the time . Probably end up due to cost reasons buying a pre made straight run then building a frame for it and casters like @Onoff suggested . Just nice sometimes to spend the money and it’s just done !

Yeah I know . It’s just another thing to do on the infinite list of things to do !

These are what i’ve Been using for 2 years . Now a bit rotted . SWMBO wants a ‘proper’ temporary staircase when we live on the build ? Building a wooden one whilst cheap is a pita to move and fix . Mobile stairs make my life easier .

Did that . I need them movable though and free standing

Yeah I know . looks nice and cheap - Select 12 tread and it’s £800 !!

Ooooooo https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mobile-Safety-Warehouse-Steps-Step-ladders-Industrial-Lightweight-Duty/311940009900?hash=item48a112cfac:m:mRm6i1DI_SG3vV096eBkCiA&var=610743335612

Mobile staircase on wheels would be so much better!!! https://www.stepsandstillages.co.uk/products/mobile-steps/product/909-10-step-budget/category_pathway-43 £600 ouch !

Hmmmm i’ll need a small landing at the top ( winder ) before I run straight . Guess I would make a landing platform with a wood base and support then run a cheap straight run off it ....

Oh . I assumed it would need support along its length either from the floor or bolted to a wall . Will check howdens - cheers

I need some proper temp stairs . If I buy a straight run is that self supporting ? I.e only fixed at the top and base . So no side fixings for support . Or must I construct some kind of frame ???

Another question ! We haven’t chose our bath yet . I do like the solid ones - no legs ; the base sits in the floor . With those - how do you access the waste and tap feeds ? . From photos doesn’t look any obvious way . Like this one for example. https://www.drench.co.uk/drench-ellie-acrylic-white-freestanding-bath-1700-x-800mm

Ok ! I’m nearing the point I need to start planning and doing this . I’ve deliberately left gaps in my screed for a flush with finished floor shower . My assumption was to treat the bathroom like a wet room I.e water proof it to the same level even though it’s not a wet room . Currently don’t know the shower enclosure we will have but assume it will just be a glass panel from floor up to ceiling . One question is how do these attach to the floor ? - some special slot fixing that gets embedded in the floor before tiling ? I’m not looking to create another @Onoff bathroom thread - tons of useful info in there but the bibles a shorter read ??

I cheat If it wobbles I poop my pants So I build it up , screw the scaf planks together then screw that to the timber frame !! ?

Lol i did contemplate that but as I’m not good with heights I got scaffolding in for that bit

Guy looked again today and after some alterations seemed happy - starts next week

You are my new best mate @nod !! ? Was getting bored of @Onoff anyway ?

I ordered Knauf aqua panel exterior screws ( as recommended by render guy )

Not sure now ! In panic / haste ordered some sTainless steel ones - will replace all of them so I sleep at night !! . Only take a few hours ...
